Wordscapes

Wordscapes is a mobile game that challenges you to find as many words as possible given a set of letters. It is a casual-type game I discovered seeing a Google ad once. It is an interesting crossword puzzle game for Android and iOS mobile platforms. I will review this game after playing it for a few days.

Wordscapes

---

Wordscapes is a casual puzzle game by PeopleFun where you try to find as many words as you can using the given letters to you. A crossword puzzle helps you in trying to find as many words as possible from the set given to you. The game is met with a smooth ambient soundtrack along with lovely sound effects. It provides a calming atmosphere. You start off with a simple puzzle with three letters. As you progress through the game, you have word challenges involving four letters, five letters, six letters, and probably more than that. The game will give you certain perks you can take advantage of to help you find the hidden words. Try to find all of the words in the puzzle to advance to the next Level! You can make your own profile as well as join a team. You can even compete in Tournaments, both of the single and team variety. Wordscapes is a free game for Android and iOS, but in-app purchases can be made.

The way you input letters is to swipe across the given letters to find as many words as possible. For example, if you are given the letters P-S-D-A-E, you can swipe a set of five letters to spell S-P-A-D-E. Then you find other words like "S-P-A," "P-A-D," and more. Each entered word is has at least three letters to them. You can only use each letter once. If you find extra words that are not part of the puzzle, you gain a Coin bonus. The level is complete when you find all of the words for one level. Your Brilliance is enhanced for each puzzle you complete.

If you want to complete this game you'll be playing it for quite a while. This game apparently has over 6,000 levels! At the time of me posting this blog entry, I am currently on Level 129. Be prepared to commit if you somehow want to be a completionist of this game. You can also take part in daily puzzles that can earn you some sweet rewards.

Advice.

Here is some advice if you plan on getting this game.

• Various facilities are available to you to help you find each of the words. Each of these items require you to have a certain amount of Coins to use. If you lack Coins to use certain helpers, you can spend your real money to purchase extra Coins. The simplest helper is the Hint, which costs 100 and reveals one letter to help you solve the puzzle.

• Some puzzles have hidden words that are not part of the puzzle. Find these hidden words to gain a Coin bonuses when you complete the puzzle.

• TAKE YOUR TIME! There is no time limit to complete each puzzle. You can return to any puzzle you haven't yet completed. Also, you could exit the game and come back any time to complete the puzzle you were previously working on. Don't try to do some kind of speedrun, and don't feel pressured into trying to speedrun "Wordscapes."

• DON'T CHASE PERFECTION! You are not penalized for missing words or for inputting the wrong words. So don't feel you have a certain number of tries to complete each puzzle. You may sometimes try any number of letter combinations to hopefully solve the puzzle.

Wordscapes: Final Thoughts

---

Wordpress will really challenge you to find as many words as possible with the given puzzles. You sometimes will have to really think about what words you may be missing. The crossword puzzle style helps in making you think about what word(s) you might be missing. It is a challenging game, but not really difficult or impossible.

My only gripe with Wordscapes is the advertisements. Some of the ads can be rather long- some lasting between 1-2 minutes! You can, though, speed up some of the longer ads so you can get back to the game by either fast forwarding or clicking on the "X" on the top right of your device's touchscreen. This is otherwise a game that will challenge your word knowledge. You can eliminate the ads for a fee. That, and the game sometimes crashes on me or restarts after viewing an ad.

I otherwise would recommend this game for those wanting to challenge their word power.
